You can. Have you ever been reading a book and lost the page? You may have no specific memory of what you read yet when you attempt to find the last page you were on you will immediately recognize whether you read something or not thus enabling you to find the page where you left off. What this tells us is, all we see, hear, or read, is still with us. Our efforts should not be focused on remembering, but on retrieving the data we have remembered.
